No hate, those are just the odds.

Mahomes wasn't doing that at age 10.

The only reason he isn't better on earlier downs is because Andy Reid conservatism.

Do opposing fans even make noise when Mahomes is on the field? I figured that they just look morosely at the ground.

I think the multi-sport childhood has played a major role in Patrick’s success. You can see elements of baseball and basketball in how he plays on the football field. Maybe even soccer elements in his game too.
I think a lot of parental strategies may backfire in this.

If you specialize a kid in one sport in the hope that he/she will be good enough to get a college scholarship, you can invest a lot of money and Eliza Doolittle pretty much any kid up to a "good" level by age 14 or 15 or 16 that gives you false hope. Then the kids who are simply better will grow and be clearly faster/stronger/better and blow by your little Hunter/Tanner/Dakota kid. Coaching and lessons and opportunities will only buy you so much, and it's less than raw talent plus effort in the long run.

Plus, if you specialize your kid, I think he/she loses out on the cross-training benefit of playing different sports, not to mention losing out on the chance that maybe some other sport would end up being their best sport.

Of course, I think the truly elite kids are probably playing multiple sports in high school anyway, just because they're all easy for them. Have you ever looked at Randy Moss's high school resume?

- Back to back state championships in football playing WR, FS, KR, PR, K, and P
- West Virginia player of the year in basketball twice, setting his school record for points while his teammate was future NBA player Jason Williams, though losing the state championship game.
- West Virginia state champion in the 100 and 200 meter dash

Coaching and specialization is not going to beat Randy Moss, and specialization would have only hurt him.

There was a quote I heard growing up about the Yankees that went something like this...

"Do the Yankees win because they have Derek Jeter? Or because their opponents get lost in their pinstripes?"

I never quite appreciated that cornball question until this playoff run. The Bills, Ravens, and 49ers all had their shot. All 3 mentally let it slip and gave the ball back to Mahomes with a chance to clinch it. In all 3 games, when Mahomes had a chance to end it, he did.

Hey former players, here is how you answer a question about how it’s different from your new team and the Chiefs or Mahomes.

1. Patrick Mahomes - 7 (3)
2. Josh Allen - 3 (0)
2. Peyton Manning - 3 (1)
2. Tom Brady - 3 (0)
5. Colin Kaepernick - 2 (1)
5. Kurt Warner - 2 (1)
5. Russell Wilson - 2 (1)
5. Drew Brees - 2 (0)
